Questions

  1. 1.

    A synthetic biologist designs an artificial micro-factory that translates synthetic genetic messages into functional peptides. To deliver each building block correctly, the mechanism employs an adapter molecule that folds via internal hydrogen bonding into a characteristic cloverleaf shape, exposes a three-nucleotide recognition loop, and binds an amino acid at its conserved 3' CCA terminus. Which natural class of RNA serves as the direct biological model for this adapter component?

    • A) Messenger RNA (mRNA)
    • B) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
    • C) Transfer RNA (tRNA)
    • D) Small nuclear RNA (snRNA)
